Oh, I am so sorry to hear about your being ill. I know that there is only so much reading that one can do, and watching television isn't an outlet for creativity. Boredom sets in quickly. Embroidery could be a wonderful way for you to pass the time. Do you knit or crochet? What about hand applique? I hope you have family and friends who are willing to go out and pick up odds and ends for you to work on. If you're on facebook, drop by to visit my page.

I'm making another set of the placemats for my sister's BD. Got my pressing cloths this time. Got my iron cleaned off, but didn't know the trick with the dryer sheets. They are marvelous. A bit like aspirin. Good for everything sewing thing that ails us, but don't ask about the ingredients. ;-) Cristine

Oh, no! So sorry about that! I do that now and then, too. I can't seem to remember to use a pressing cloth when I should. You can usually get it off my heating you iron to full heat and rubbing the hot iron onto a scrap of fabric like an old towel or washcloth. If your iron is stainless steel, paper towels work well, too, but they might scratch teflon. After you get most of it off, try ironing on a dryer sheet to finish the job and leave your iron smooth.

Have you made this pattern?

Since retiring from my teaching career I've discovered that there is life outside of the classroom! I spend parts of most of my days indulging in my favorite hobbies of quilting and sewing. I started designing patterns as an experiment, and no one was more surprised than I was to find that other people liked my little designs. I try to write my patterns in such a way that beginning quilters can follow them. I include lots of details, photos, and little informative notes, so even if they look complicated, the instructions should be easy to follow.
